The write downary features remaining in satisfyedion for an Oscar nomination have been whittled down from 169 to a lowenumerate of a mere 15, a brutal culling that has inevitably left many filmoriginaters disassigned, and a pick confineed in celebratory mode.
What were the disjoineest snubs? That ask comes up for debate in a exceptional Oscar-lowenumerate-reaction episode of Deadline’s Doc Talk podcast, arrangeed John Ridley, the Oscar-thrivening authorr-straightforwardor, and Matt Carey, Deadline’s write downary editor. We get into what Academy Documentary Branch members voted in, and the most astonishing certains they left out.
One of the huge oleave outions: a highly seeed film about an iconic Hollywood star who made a comeback after a proximate overweightal accident theatricalassociate altered his life.
One surpelevate inclusion: a film that apshows a very unflattering see of Israeli directer Benjamin Netanyahu. The prime minister was so angered by the write downary that he sued to block its unofficial premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September. That film apshows its place on the Oscar lowenumerate despite having no U.S. distribution. Relabelably, a slew of films without domestic distribution partners administerd to originate the first cut.
Ridley elucidates why he was thrilled to see a particular Netflix write downary get a lowenumerate slot – and why he finds it unforgivable that Doc Branch voters left out a film he considers one of the year’s best. We also parse the lowenumerate of write downary lows – there, too, the field of contfinishers has been leaned to a blessed 15. One of them is co-straightforwarded by actress-filmoriginater Rashida Jones, another is co-straightforwarded by a filmoriginater best understandn for her write downary on postponecessitate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
That’s on a exceptional episode of the Doc Talk podcast, a production of Deadline and John Ridley’s Nō Studios. Listen to the episode above or on presentant podcast platcreates including Spotify, iHeart and Apple.
